Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Wusthof Grand Prix 10-Piece Knife Set with BlockCustomer Review: Highest quality - worth the price! Summary: 5 Stars
These are fantastic knives - if you've been cooking using cheap knives, these will be a revelation. Sharpness is important, but so is balance and weight. If you don't think weight is important, you've never tried to split a whole head of cabbage. Or winter squash. These knives will last for a lifetime - literally. If you're on a budget, far better to buy just a few good knives than a 10 piece set of inferior knives. But if you can afford this excellent 10 piece set, don't wait! I've been cooking for 20 years and I only wish I'd discovered the importance of good knives much sooner. I've had my Grand Prix set for 6 years now and with care (no dishwasher, ever!), regular honing and sharpening, my knives are good as new.
Description of Wusthof Grand Prix 10-Piece Knife Set with BlockWüsthof's Grand Prix series of knives is identical to the manufacturer's Classic series in the quality and craftsmanship of the blades, but offers a more contemporary handle design. Formed with the perfect balance of high-carbon steel and a stain-resistant alloy, these knives retain their edges longer and are easier to resharpen. The blades are ground and polished by computer, ensuring perfect tapering from bolster to tip, and the edge is then hand honed for precision slicing. The tang extends through the slip-free, molded polypropelene handle for excellent balance. Perfect as a wedding gift, this 10-piece set has all the kitchen cutlery basics with room to grow. The knives in the set include an 8-inch cook's knife, an 8-inch carving knife, a 6-inch sandwich knife, an 8-inch serrated bread knife, a 5-inch serrated sausage knife, a 4-1/2-inch utility knife, and a 3-1/2-inch paring knife. A pair of kitchen shears and a 9-inch sharpening steel complete the set. Everything fits neatly into the rubber-footed oak block, which has space to eventually add six steak knives and two more prep knives. --Cristina Vaamonde What's in the Box 8-inch cook's, carving, bread; 6-inch sandwich; 5-inch serrated; 4-1/2-inch utility; and 3-1/2-inch paring, shears, 9-inch steel, and 17-slot oak block
